3Ware/twe Update

["L. V. Lammert" <lvl@omnitec.net>]

Update to all interested in twe/3Ware drivers:

1) We have run through six different contacts at eWare and finally found a 
new manager chap there that is 'doing the business plan for a commitment to 
BSD'. If anyone would like to provide some **NICE** prodding, contact me 
off-list for the info.

Now for a little GOOD news for those of us with 3Ware cards:

2) While neither the 6000 nor 7000 series will rebuild with the twe driver, 
booting a Knoppix CD and giving the controller a little time ***DID*** 
rebuild the array with a new drive! Took about 20 minutes for a 100GB RAID 
5 array (YMMV).
